Hi Yves, itsn't possible to do a hub dxp with any version of Scan.

The match ended with the victory of the Sjende Blyn program. Congratulations to Jelle Wiersma and thanks to Harm Jetten. Nice, but we never seen a dxp match Scan -Sjende or Kingsrow - Sjende or again Dragon - Sjende It's clear that Sjende it's far stronger that Mobydam. So it will be nice to see so...

Hi, As Gérard told it, if the goal of these games is to compare 2 programs, i think and already told it for the previous match Kingsrow vs Scan, that 10 games can't prove nothing. Howether we appreciate the fact that you take time to do this. On this forum, we all know the power of all the programs...

Hi, This match is a great disappointment for me. As Sidiki mentionned Dragon looks far better than Damage: in this match we can see two games in which Dragon had the win and four other games in which Dragon had a draw+. The result 10-10 is a very poor picture of the match and it proves that it is n...

On 28.10.2018 at 10:00 CET will be played a show match Damage-Dragon. The match will consist of 10 parties, time for the game - 15 minutes for 75 moves + 5 seconds to make movement on the board. The match is played on two identical computers with processor intel Core i3 350M of 8 GB ram. The match ...

Hi, The idea to run this match it's good. Many people who aren't familar to our forum will don't know that 10 games aren't enough to compare these 2 strong programs. If one of both lose a single game, it will probably lose the match. I think that at least 30 to 50 gamies will be good to compare the...

Web interface for Scan. Congratulations Sidiki! I am glad to hear it works for you on a Windows computer. Indeed, it is possible to upload scan (and websocketd) on a server and play without your physical computer. In the section "Engine control" of the web interface fill the host item with the name...

Web interface for Scan. I have created a web interface to play draughts against an engine that supports the hub protocol. Practically speaking, it means you can use your web browser to play against the Scan engine of Fabien Letouzey. I expect it is platform independent so you can use it with Window...

Thank again Ed !!!!

When you want to test the behaviours of two programs on all the 3-move ballots positions, you can put all the starting position in a file. This file is used by the HMI driving all the matchs (with DXP protocol for example). So this opening will not be tested. Thank, but can you show how to edit thi...

I will remove this opening from my 3-move ballots file.

How can we remove it ?

It seems that, with this opening, white has no way to save 24. after 1. ... 18x29 2. 33x24 19x30 3. 35x24 If it's right, it could be better to remove this opening from the 3-move ballots (all program lose with white on this position : even the better scan3.0, kingsrow, ...). Members of the forum, w...
